ICD-10: Prove Proficiency by Dec. 31

Prior to obtaining my CCC certification I was required by my employer to do an online ICD-10 course which was AAPC approved. Although I was not certified at the time, would this be considered sufficiemt to keep my CCC certification in force? I have copies of the transcript to show the CEU’ s earned and that I passed each area of the testing. I received my certification a few weeks after finishing this course. Thank you for your response.
